The problem is that the virus may already be here by the time we even think of implementing a quarantine. I've read up on the SmallPox wars, when scientists and governments were embarked on a several decade long mission to eradicate smallpox, and even closing the borders of small Eastern European nations was virtually impossible. Hopefully the powers that be are keeping a very careful eye on this Asian development, as well as the Marburg situation in southern Africa.
That sounds interesting. Book/article title(s) to recommend?
